“And here you are,” Yibo agrees. “What’s next?”
Xiao Zhan shrugs. “Another flight, further out. A ship if I can sign on to one.” He grins at the thought, then peeks at Yibo. “I don’t suppose you know a crew who’s looking for a mechanic? I’m good with my hands,” he says, wiggling his fingers.
Yibo raises his eyebrows and Xiao Zhan feels his ears turn hot. “Why not a ship of your own?” Yibo asks.
Xiao Zhan snorts. “I didn’t cash in that much.”
“You might be surprised,” Yibo says, and Xiao Zhan deflates a little.
“And you were doing so good at not being a salesman,” he says resignedly, and Yibo grins.
